Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cupcakes:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp strawberry extract
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the Cupcake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and milk.
- Mix until smooth and fully combined, following the instructions on the cake mix box for any additional steps.
- Bake the Mini Cupcakes:
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, turn the muffin pan over onto a wire rack so that all the mini cupcakes are upside down. Let them cool completely.
- Make the Glaze:
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry extract, melted butter, milk, and hot water. Stir until smooth and the glaze reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
- Glaze the Cupcakes:
- Once the mini cupcakes have cooled completely, dip each cupcake upside down into the glaze, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Place the glazed cupcakes back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the glaze has firmed up, serve these Glazed Mini Strawberry Cupcakes as a sweet treat for any occasion!
Notes
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- You can substitute the strawberry extract with vanilla or almond extract for a different flavor.
